Subsequent to this, X would just hang when I run startx. I think what may have started this was trying to portupgrade gnucash, because it looks like some port items that were dependencies for other things (xorg-protos, for example) have been removed from the ports system. so, I tried portupgrade for xfce4, which tells me everything is current. Then I tried portupgrade xorg, which did upgrade a lot of things. This got me to a point where I can run startx, and rather than hanging, it, um, crashes gracefully. I receive this error: (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/xorg.conf" Parse error on line 75 of section Files in file /etc/X11/xorg.conf "RgbPath" is not a valid keyword in this section. (EE) Problem parsing the config file (EE) Error parsing the config file Fatal server error: no screens found giving up. I can comment out line 75 referred to above, but that seems to put me back to where I was before trying to upgrade: startx hangs the computer... Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks, Keith S.
